You will not have a problem. In fact, your visa will be issued thru' Feb.2008. This is if there is no gap between the expiration of the 1st I797 (say Feb.10 2007) and start date of the 2nd I797 (say Feb.11 2007). Carry both I797 notices with you and your visa will be issued till Feb.2008...

Air_Canada, thanks once again for the info. I'll ask my friend to apply. I understand it takes 6-8 weeks to get the refund check. Is that right?

Landing fee refund Air_Canada, THis is regarding the landing fee refund (about $475) that the Canadian Govt. plans to issue for people who became permanent residents after May 1, 2006. I am a little confused about the process to request a refund and would really appreciate your...

Thanks Air_Canada....Regarding the picture, is this something we need to take with us or will the Immigration authorities use the picture provided on the landing papers ? To sum it up, I don't want to drive or fly again to Canada just to take a picture..

Hi friends, Just wanted to know that if my friend can get me the payment voucher/Draft (for $100) from Banamex in Tijuana prior to my H1B appointment. One of my friends is going for his stamping 3 days before I am going. So he has...

This is actually for a friend... Both my friend and his wife need to have their H1B visas revalidated in Canada. He has booked an appt. from nvars.com and added his wife as a dependent. Does he need to book a separate appointment for his wife or for the $9.50 he paid, his wife is also be...

To Priyanka... Hi Priyanka, This is in response to one of your earlier posts regarding any additonal documentation that one may need to carry for H1B revalidation at the consulate in Tijuana, Mexico. If you are working for a consulting company and...

Hi, I have an appointment at Nogales on May 22 @8am for my H1B revalidation. If any one of you has an appointment on the same date, we could use some company or share information. Please feel free to email me at psvraghavan@yahoo.com Thanks!

My 6th year is expiring on Sept.20, 2006. I understand I can apply for my extension probably in about a week (technically 6 months before, but with the lag in processing time at the California Center, I guess by the time they take up my case, it would be 6 months prior to Sept.20, 2006…so I...

Can any one of you please advise? Since this is a premium processing case, can I ask the Service Center to reconsider my case and ask them to extend it till Sept.2007 or should I wait till March.2006 (6 months prior to my visa end date) and then reapply with a $500 fee for extension of...

Hi Raj, I am going to Tijuana, Mexico with my wife in the second week of Feb. for our individual H1 stampings. I am equally very nervous about this even though my case is quite clean and I sympathize with your situation. If you do have any information regarding people receiving 221g or...

Nishokie, Thanks for pointing out this information. However, note this...it says validity date of the I797 - Appointment should be made ten days prior to the validity date on the I-797 or after the validity date has passed. This means 10 days before the start date on the I797...

kool_maverick, Thanks a lot for your response! I was getting very jittery about this having read a few posts. Thanks once again

Urgent question Nishokie and other Gurus, Is this true only for consulates in Canada or is this a rule that is followed by consulates in Mexico as well. Reason why I am asking this is that my H1 visa on my passport expires during the second week of March 2006 and I am going for my...

Hi, This question was probably answered earlier....but I am not sure. My wife is working as a Software Engineer, has a Master's in Computer Science from a US university. The company has mentioned MS+6 months of experience as the minimum education and experience requirement. Her current...
